Well, I'm not sure if they're actually eaten. I just assumed it cause it's Gluttony. But you're probably right.


So you seem to want to know so I am going to put in the spoiler tag the main abilities of the white whale of gluttony.



No thanks, I heard it'll be explained next episode. I've been semi-spoiled already too, so i'll refrain.

Crusch really shined in this episode. Before she was being a bitch to Subaru, but know we see she's just really cautious. She's looking to be like one of those strong female badasses in anime like Riza Hawkeye or Erza. She may think she can tell who's lying but no one can see through Subaru like Rem

I laughed so hard at the alarm song signaling their doom

glad to see Subaru back to being himself and doing a great job with negotiations by using all the things he learned. Also I loved that last part where rem and subaru went ahead of everyone.

So Wilhelm's wife also came from another world and that's how everyone remembers her, right?

No Wilhelms wife is from this world there is only one other character besides Subaru that's from a different world that I know of.

I don't think any episode for this series or any others from this season will be able to top last week's but this episode was still pretty decent even though there wasn't much action. I even laughed a little! (Am I watching the right show?)

I hated how they reused footage during the whale fight, ALREADY. If you need to reuse footage then just put the ending theme.

Also, I assumed people forgot about anyone who got eaten by the White whale, but when you think about it, they only forget people who aren't important to them.

You wanna tell me Subaru's cellphone battery lasted through all these events ? What the fuck is he using, nokia, plot armor ?????


Yea I wonder too but think of it, there is no network so the cellphone is not connected to any network allowing lesser energy consumption. Plus it is on stand by most of the time so seems legit. The problem is how did he know the exact hour of the Whale's appearance? Did he remember it ? dunno


They showed it in the episode, he was using his phone at the time of the attack to shine light at the map and things around him. He just happened to memorise the time.

Is it just me or has episodes 1-18 just been in sense a giant prologue to an even bigger story. It feels like everything thus far has just been a setup for Subaru getting grounded and now he is finally ready to do stuff.


This is what should know

This Story is way but way too big xD

From what I Heard xD

They in the Begining had to cut a lot of stuff not in anime, but in the WN , Imagine that they write 250 000 ,the Company it self Cut off, 250 000 to like 170 000 (Numbers not real)....and they adapted all this ,to the Final Episode that will be Completely Shock.I know what will happen so yeah no shock for me:)

In my opinion, What Happen in this episode should happen earlier, in the Mansion Arc ( the Dog Bite ) It was just too big for me,but I think the Author made that on Purpose so yeah...

Nice to see things finally go well for Subaru for once, but where did he ever learn about those "magical stones" that he was using in the negotiations with Crusch? This episode is literally the first time such things have ever been mentioned (as far as I remember), so it does seem a tad convenient.


He did learn about those in episode 9. He is referring to the magical stones that keep off the mabeasts. They're extremely rare and apparently you can mine them within Roswaal's territory. Since mabeasts are a world wide plague these stones are extremely valuable in order to keep your territory safe.

Isn't there a possibility Master Swordsman (Kensei) is alive. Because she is not forgotten. White Whale may selectively remove people from memories. But I think everyone who is killed/eaten by it is ERASED. Because we don't have a counter evidence up until now. So I believe Kensei is alive.


Willhelm mentioned that he has yet to visit her grave which confirms that she is physically dead but nor forgotten.

It's been hinted at that the Whale seems to have a dangerous fog which is most likely the cause of this erasing.

So how did Ram forget about Rem when the whale killed her? Your theory seems a bit off. I think it wasnt the whale that killed the knight's partners.

It's never been directly stated to be a prologue by the author but it's supposed to be seen as such. Episode 1-18 are around 10% of the story and mark the prologue, yes.

TRRUUUUUUUEE. But that brings up another question, because if everyone who is killed by it is forgotten, then how would anyone know if the whale ever killed?

That would mean the whale has killed far more than they think it has, and those that they think are killed are probably captured and used somehow

Actually that's not correct. We don't know yet what causes people to be forgotten.

Right now it's only an assumption that people are forgotten if they're consumed because people can't think of anything better. Just wait :)

People assume that the whale has to eat someone in order to erase their existence.

The thing is how would they have bodies to bury and gravestones without any names if the whale ate them?

Clearly the whale doesn't have to physically eat them in order to erase their existence.

Crusch actually hinted towards the fog that it produces being extremely dangerous.

Never did it say anywhere that the whale defeating his opponent leads to their existence getting erased.

Theresia van Astrea is the best example that people can still die through the whale but not be forgotten.

The mentioning of graves without any names on it supports this. The whale killing a person != erasing their existence

And then it's Subaru who is rushing forward instead of being in the backlines pretending to do something only to justify himself. This shows that Subaru slowly but steadily actually wants to do things but doesn't hesitate everywhere because of his weaknesses.

At that moment it looks more like because Rem is having his back but overal you're right.

So I guess this is the last try? Cause there would be no point running all those alliances again just like in the previous arc.
Sadly, I think we just saw Rem's death flag as she'll probably do the same as the last time.

Still, it bothers me that there are still cultist to deal with, even if he defeats the whale there is no telling if he can save Emilia.
